This news took me by surprise, as the inherited contract looked like a great deal for the Texans.  On the other side, in today's NFL players do not LIKE deals that are great for their team...which can lead some whining and a potential holdout.  If it was up to me I would have shortened the 4 year deal with a raise and some guarantees to a 2 year deal, but maybe the Texans offered that and Diggs wasn't interested in hitting the FA market at 32.

At the end of the day this is a deal to go all in and win BIG next year, and at the worst your giving up a 33% chance at landing a starter next year (draft math) to make it happen.  There's also the concept that adding a starter to to a loaded team, will cause his numbers to go down, making a re-signing more palatable if they're interested in keeping him around.
